Looks like Europe weaned itself away from Russian gas..so that leverage has been greatly weakened.

They're not weaned. They're DEPRIVED. They had their primary pipeline blown up, and their secondary pipeline shut down. They're paying no less than thrice for their energy - and this has pretty much ended Germany's industrial output. Europe needs a strong Germany - almost as much as the German people do.*GHETTOBLASTER » 24 Jan 2025, 10:23 am » wrote: ↑ Looks like Europe weaned itself away from Russian gas..so that leverage has been greatly weakened.
I think Russia will attack the infrastructures of the Western World if we continue to make life difficult for them.
Russia could poison our water supplies, burn our houses down, terrorize the freeway systems, etc.
What you propose should be an easy thing to sell to the German People once the aftermath of rising unemployment and other shortages soak in.Cannonpointer » 24 Jan 2025, 9:29 pm » wrote: ↑ They're not weaned.

I predict the E.U. is going to start coming apart at the seams. I also predict Germany will trash the current government and elect a right wing, pro-detente government.
Germany's current fifth columnist government wants to cut their social services in order to pay the vig that Trump is demanding of NATO nations. He insists the European NATO nations must pay 5% of their respective GDPs to the MIC - fer freedum and stuff. That money HAS to come from somewhere. In fact, it HAS to come from social programs - retirement benefits, pensions, medical care, etc.*GHETTOBLASTER » 24 Jan 2025, 9:47 pm » wrote: ↑ What you propose should be an easy thing to sell to the German People once the aftermath of rising unemployment and other shortages soak in.
Russian is facing $5 BN per year in lost revenue..so it's a race to the bottom.

All of Europe is going to the right, while the oligarchs continue to find ways to censor the opposition and postpone elections.

Yeah, go ahead and make all Septic Tank Pumpers millionaires.........![]()
[BTW the people who make the most fun of the "Trailer Trash" Septic Tank Pumpers aren't Conservatives]
Hatred of criminals and of Illegals who drive down wages and who are invited into the USA by Democrats to give the Democrat Party insurmountable power at the ballot box...is totally justified.
